It is important to keep something on which you can write with you all of the time. You never know when inspiration is going to strike. Further, you can't take that inspiration for granted. That fantastic idea you have for your copy while you're stuck sitting in traffic might not stick around long enough for you to remember it when you're actually home and able to work on it.

Some complaints, of course, are totally off the wall. Sometimes it is difficult to figure out which is which. If you're selling your services, though, you have to remember that your main goal is to please the customer. It's true -even copywriting has a customer service aspect to it.

In addition to feeling connected to the product, they'll feel connected to you. Everybody loves a good story. If you want to raise your profit margin, you are going to need to spend some time working with a narrative voice.
